EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "South east view of the Princes Chamber" takes us back in time to London in the early 19th century. The engraving, created by John Thomas Smith in 1807 and published on June 5,1809, offers a glimpse into the architectural marvels of Westminster. From an upper window at William Henry Whites in Parliament Place, we are granted a unique perspective of the Princes Chamber and its connection with an adjoining building. The image showcases five windows on the southern side; however, two have been blocked up over time. As mentioned by the late ingenious and accurate Pennant, only three windows now illuminate the inside. The photograph captures not just a stunning view but also reveals traces of human activity. In this snapshot from history, workmen can be seen going about their daily tasks around the chamber. Their presence adds depth to our understanding of this significant location. With meticulous attention to detail and skillful execution, Smith's engraving transports us to another era. It allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of London's architecture and how it has evolved over time. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images is sure to captivate art enthusiasts and history lovers alike as they immerse themselves in this fascinating slice of London's past.
